Great.
Thanks for sharing that solution.

Got same issue. I fixed it by replacing :
i2c = machine.I2C(id, scl=scl, sda=sda, freq=400000)
with:
i2c = machine.SoftI2C(scl=scl, sda=sda, freq=400000)
… don’t know at this moment what it envolves 🙂

I got the app running using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W and a BME680 sourced from WaveShare, running Thonny on a MacBook Pro.

I also found very helpful your instructions detailing how to flash the Raspberry Pi from within Thonny. I had been using CircuitPython and needed help loading MicroPython instead.

The newer version of the BME680 is the BME688. Do you have a modified version of your code suitable for this new device?

Hi.
I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what might be the issue.
Try just reading the temperature.
Does it work?

Sara

Hi Sara,
i definitely using a BME680.

Hi.
Are you sure you’re using a BME680 sensor?
Maybe you have a BME280 or BME180??
Regards,
Sara

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 11, in
File “bme680.py”, line 342, in init
File “bme680.py”, line 104, in init
File “bme680.py”, line 357, in _write
OSError: [Errno 5] EIO

I double checked everything and i2c.scan() found the device.
